An international research team from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) is investigating the causes and interactions of melting sea ice in the Arctic Ocean on board the research icebreaker "Polarstern". The Polarstern set off from Tromsø, Norway, on 2 July 2025 to spend the next two months analysing feedbacks between global warming and sea-ice retreat in the Arctic Ocean. The investigations will focus on the differences in the melting of different types of sea ice, which represent past, present and future Arctic sea ice. One-year-old sea ice, which formed last winter, often drifts in the sea ice marginal zone and is expected to dominate the Arctic of the future.

Eco-Crossing: intelligent assistance for climate-friendly ferry connections Elsfleth, 2 July 2025 - Innovation meets everyday life: every day, numerous people commute between Farge and Berne on the Weser ferry.

The central question is: does a ferry always have to take the same route - even if wind and current conditions are constantly changing? The answer is provided by a learning assistance system that recommends the most efficient route in real time - based on current environmental and ship parameters. The aim is to reduce fuel consumption by up to 20 per cent and achieve considerable annual cost savings.

More than six months earlier, leading officers in the US Navy had already realised that war with the Third Reich was imminent. The question was not whether, but rather...
